Proposed Regulation to all Pots in the C61C Sablefish Fishery

CFEC posted proposed regulations to allow pot gear in the Southern Southeast Inside sablefish fishery (C61C) in response to the October 25th letter from the Board of Fish requesting CFEC conduct a regulatory review of the fishery. If the proposed regulation is adopted, the Board of Fish would take up any regulatory actions under its authority at the 2018 Southeast Finfish meeting.

A public meeting will be held February 17, 2017 at the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission from 3-4:30pm. If you would like to participate by phone, please contact Doug Rickey at CFEC by email doug.rickey@alaska.gov, or phone (907)790-6963.
